From AIRism and HEATTECH to Ultra Light Down—UNIQLO continues to roll out high-performance wear tailored to each season, many of which have become long-selling staples. UNIQLO's latest summer addition is the heat-shielding parasol, the "UV Protection Compact Umbrella Heat-shielding."
UNIQLO has already established a strong reputation for UV protection items, but this product takes on the challenge of reducing the heat from direct sunlight. To discover its technology and effectiveness, we visited the "Artificial Climate Room" that supported its development and spoke with UNIQLO's PR representative.

Background to the Establishment of "The LifeWear Research Institute"

"The LifeWear Research Institute," located inside UNIQLO's Ariake headquarters in Tokyo, was founded in 2019. The "Artificial Climate Room" within the institute is key to supporting the development of high-performance products.
